No, nobody does that nowadays.
You have the software packaged into a more manageable format like an
msi or a single executable which needs no user input and then you can
distribute it with your choice of distribution software.
The problem
The Packaging, Wrapping or Repackaging of an installer can be time-
consuming and costly depending on the complexity of the installer and
your organizations packaging policy.
In this example, we will assume the packager is great and the
complexity is of medium level. We will also assume that the
organization'spackaging policy states that the IT department can install
software on the end-user's computers only if:
1. There are NO interruptions to the end-users work. This means, the
installer DO NOT ask the end-user for their input.
2. You MUST NOT install anything in a way that they are not aware
that an installation is in progress. I.e. you are NOT allowed to start an
installation on their system which is totally silent.
The Solution
Launch the installer with Detourit and have it bypass any dialog and/or
messages that the installer wants to display.
This requires no repackaging or capturing, you can send of the setup.exe
to the test team before you even start the packaging process, because
you know you won’t have to change anything in the original vendors
package.
